Fannish5: Name the 5 most interesting fictional journeys.

[selenak]

Leaving out shows where the journey is the premise - like most Star Treks, and Doctor Who - as unfair, here are five of many that come to mind.

1) Thelma and Louise. I love well done road movies in general - this is, after all, the genre that matches inward with outward journeys - , but if pressed, this one is my absolute favourite. I love Susan

Speaking of LOTR and travel -- have you already seen these brilliant Tolkien-themed travel posters?

[selenak]

LOL, no, I hadn't! Thanks for linking.

I adored Transamerica, and am glad you included it.

[selenak]

It's such a fantastic movie.

[resolute]

Those are some excellent road trips!

[selenak]

They really are!

[zahrawithaz]

What excellent picks! I really must see Cairo Time.

Out of curiosity, what fantasy sagas do you love better than LOTR? I'm always looking for recs.

[selenak]

Tad Williams' Memory, Sorrow and Thorn, for example.

Ooh, I have not read--thanks for the recommendation.

[gehayi]

I've read some of Tad Williams' books, but not that one. Thanks for the rec!

"I'd pick Lyta's journey to the Furies and back"

I just read that today (though I haven't picked up Brief Lives yet).

Continuity OMG!

[selenak]

....but Brief Lives happens before The Kindly Ones! Dream's entire attitude is incomprehensible without Brief Lives happening first!

Re: Continuity OMG!

Honestly, I read them out of sequence, too (my first issue? The, uhh, climax of 'The Kindly Ones,' aka the ABSOLUTE WORST PLACE TO START) and I loved the series as much as anyone can.

Brief Lives is totally my favorite, though.
